3  After cooking the chicken, shred it & place it on top of a layer of cream cheese. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the chicken, leaving a small border around the edge. For added flavour, consider adding some minced cilantro to the dish.

 4   Take the tortilla & fold it in half, Making sure that the side with the guacamole’ is covering the side with the cream cheese and all the other fillings.

 Important Notes: Keto Chicken Avocado Quesadilla

1    To make things even easier, make a big batch of tortillas and store them in the freezer for later use. Just remember to layer them with parchment paper to prevent sticking & allow them to thaw at room temperature before assembling your quesadilla. It’s a quick and tasty meal that is perfect for any time of day!

2    When making a cheesy tortilla, It is important to leave some space around the edges. This is because as the cheese melts, it will spread outwards & potentially spill over the sides. By leaving a bit of space, you can ensure that you don’t lose any of that delicious melted cheese.
